Reviews! Reviews!

This week Lizzy's wrapping up our summer reviews! Here are the books we've shared with you over the last few months, plus a fun reading challenge.

Can you answer the questions based on Lizzy's review?

NIGHTBIRD by Alice Hoffman

Twig has
lived in the same small town since she was little. She's pretty much invisible, so no one pays any attention to
her. Kids know Twig won't come to their birthday parties, nor will she invite

Great reviews by Lizzie, here's my answers (1. She can't spend time with her next door neighbor because there is an old curse on the family. 2. The trio must beware of a dangerous dragon named Nettlebrand.3. A visitor from a distant land comes to help Marten.)
